CBC employees see no problem pimping ‘Idle No More’ protest

December 26, 2012 — BC Blue

If CBC reporter for The National Duncan McCue or CBC TV/radio host Jian Ghomeshi want to promote a political cause such as the Idle No More protest on Twitter, they should be at least doing it from a private account:

@jianghomeshi If you care to learn more about the IdleNoMore movement this is a good online destination…

@duncanmccue Beautiful piece on #IdleNoMore by @NaomiAKlein MT The Blessing of #Indigenous Sovereignty

You’ll notice both Ghomeshi and McCue have their CBC affiliations posted on their Twitter bios (see here and here) and don’t get me started on what a load of untruthful crap Klein’s op-ed was (see here) but the real question is why these two are advocating for this protest while collecting cheques from taxpaying Canadians?
